When Jaine Andersen proposes a new marketing role to the local amusement park, general manager Dylan Callahan charms her into filling Cinderella’s glass slippers for the summer. Her reign transforms Jaine’s ordinary life into chaos that would bewilder a fairy godmother. Secretly dating her bad boy boss, running wedding errands for her ungrateful sisters, and defending herself from the park’s resident villain means Jaine needs lots more than a comfy pair of shoes to restore order in her kingdom.

First in the Storybook Valley series, a blend of sweet romance, chick lit, and fairy tale fun.

Dylan
scrutinized Jaine, arms folded across his royal blue shirt with the Storybook
Valley logo stamped over the left in white block letters. “Do you wear
contacts?”

“I have
plenty of media contacts. Wait. Did you say wear contacts? You mean instead of
these?” Jaine fingered the earpiece of her gold-rimmed glasses.

“Right.
Contact lenses.”

She gave a
nervous chuckle. “I scheduled a consultation in college, but was too squeamish
to insert the lens. I was more comfortable in glasses.”

Was she
really justifying her vision enhancement choices to her prospective new boss? Maybe he intended to discuss medical benefits. Or did he think she looked
nerdy? What was the saying? Guys don’t make passes at girls who wear glasses?
Not that she wanted him to make a pass even if he was hot.

“How blind
are you without glasses?” Dylan persisted.

“You wouldn’t
want to drive with me.”

“How about if
you’re walking around a building? Are you in danger of hurting yourself?”

This
interview had taken the Mad Hatter Freeway from Fairy Tale Land into Wonderland
where nothing made a damn bit of sense. Did this guy have a glasses fetish,
like those weirdoes with shoe fetishes?

“I should be
okay. I take them off for special occasions.” In fact, Jaine’s older sister
Bree, who was getting married in August, remarked just last week, “You are
losing the glasses for my wedding pictures, right?”

What the
hell. She’d be a good sport and hope Dylan would be so grateful to pick the
brain of a real, flesh and blood, bespectacled person that he would appoint her
marketing director. Jaine removed her glasses and the fine details of her
surroundings fuzzed. She nodded toward the framed print hanging on a side wall,
the picture a wash of symbols and colors. “I can tell that’s a park map, but
the words and images smear together.”

And that was
myopia in a nutshell. Jaine adjusted her glasses back into place so she could
see his reaction. Dylan examined her with such intensity that a blush stained
her cheeks. She patted her blonde French braid, in case stray strands were
straggling out.

“Here’s the
situation,” Dylan said. “I took over the general manager position a few months
ago. I’m evaluating possible changes and researching how other theme parks run.
My grandfather and father have worked with a marketing firm for years to create
our brochures, billboards, print, and radio ads.”

Jaine’s
shoulders caved, imperceptible to him, but it felt as if her whole body was
sinking.

Stacy Juba got engaged at Epcot Theme
Park and spent part of her honeymoon at Disneyland Paris, where she ate a
burger, went on fast rides, and threw up on the train ride to the hotel. In
addition to working on her new Storybook Valley chick lit/sweet romance series,
Stacy has written books about ice hockey, teen psychics, U.S. flag etiquette
for kids, and determined women sleuths. She has had a novel ranked as #5 in the
Nook Store and #30 on the Amazon Kindle Paid List.

When she’s not visiting
theme parks with her family, (avoiding rides that spin and exotic hamburgers),
or writing about them, Stacy helps authors to strengthen their manuscripts
through her Crossroads Editing Service. She is currently writing the next book
in the Storybook Valley Series, Prancing Around with Sleeping Beauty.
